EZ_E Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 re: 1794 Large Cent I am quite pleased that you like the cent so very much! It's an amazing thing to behold, a cent that old and in such great shape still. I know that some people are so obsessed with the 1794 design that they collect it exclusively. I can truly see doing that, except that it'd drive me nuts. There are soething like 69 varieties with 9 of them listed as "NC" ("not collectable") by Sheldon due to their rarity. Ack. There are three very distinct types of 1794 cents, type of '93, head of '94 and head of '95. They are all quite cool. Hoot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKing Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I love the crack on that penny, and the 1829 ain't too bad either! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EZ_E Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 I love the crack on that penny, and the 1829 ain't too bad either! Thanks, Mike. The weakness on the right reverse is due to the die crack. It can be seen throughout its progression and the example shown is a mid-progression example. As the die crack progressed, part of the die became as a flap which resulted in a weak strike. This should not be confused with wear. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeKing Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 (edited) TrueView did a nice job on that '56 1c. Nice! I have to point out that this 1867 w/rays, in this condition, the luster, the color, the strike is far from an easy find. This is truly an OUTSTANDING coin . Lou, the coin SUCKS, you need to get rid of it. edited to add: to those of you not familiar with this coin, this is an example you can learn a lot from, you won't see the likes of it again.

IGWT Posted September 23, 2006 Author Share Posted September 23, 2006 Thanks for the kind words, Mike. It took 3 years to find a '67 w/rays that suits me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ER Posted September 23, 2006 Share Posted September 23, 2006 Buncha outstanding coins! Thank you. Well, I lied about my dollar type set. A dollar type set wouldn't be complete without a Gobrecht, so.......... http://s7.photobucket.com/albums/y281/qa...mgAnch=imgAnch1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EZ_E Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 ER, the Gobrecht dollar may not necessarily be the Big Kahuna of US coins but it is pretty darn close! p.s. Bruce, yes sir, indeed! It is most certainly a sweet image! Now what have you done for me lately? Thanks again, Brewster, for the hook up! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bit1work Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Looks like proof to me. I am looking for 1 too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomB Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Yes, this is a proof. It's slabbed by PCGS as PF66 and I bought it for the attractive golden orange hue it has in combination with the grey and blue obverse center, which has a light cameo. It's not an expensive coin, but it's nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
